ladki hai bholi, masti me dholi
hey ladki hai bholi, masti me dholi
humse kaise khelegi holi le ke mai aayi rango ki roli
tumse aise khelungi holi hey bach ke na jayegi tu
chunari to bhigi teri bach gayi choli
hey le ke mai aayi rango ki roli
tumse aise khelungi holi
hey ladki hai bholi, masti me dholi
humse kaise khelegi holi

acha to bata de ye mujhko aurat hai badi ya mard bada
agar humne tujhe bataya to fir hoga tujhko dard bada
mujhko jo bta to manunga kitni hai lahre sagar me
tu khud hi gin ke dekh jitni hai bunde gagar me
hey bach ke na jyegi tu mari pichkari mari na goli
hey le ke mai aayi rango ki roli
tumse aise khelungi holi hey ladki hai bholi, masti me dholi
humse kaise khelegi holi re

kya roop hawa ka hota hai itna hi mujhe bata de tu
tu jaan le bilkul waisa hai jaise hai phulon ki khusboo
chehre ko chhupa ke aanchal mein kyun gayi thi radha panghat pe
ye kishan kaneiya hi jaane kya bhed chhupa hai ghunghat me
arey bach ke na jaayegi tu kb tk khelegi aankh micholi
ladki hai bholi, masti me dholi
hey ladki hai bholi, masti me dholi
humse kaise khelegi holi le ke mai aayi rango ki roli
tumse aise khelungi holi hey bach ke na jayegi tu
chunari to bhigi teri bach gayi choli
hey le ke mai aayi rango ki roli
tumse aise khelungi holi hey ladki hai bholi, masti me dholi
humse kaise khelegi holi

A maiden so naive, swaying in glee,
A maiden so naive, swaying in glee,
How can she play Holi with me?
I bring the colors, the powder's decree,
With you, I'll play Holi, you'll see!
You won't escape, no way, not you,
Your veil is drenched, your blouse feels new.
I bring the colors, the powder's decree,
With you, I'll play Holi, you'll see!
A maiden so naive, swaying in glee,
How can she play Holi with me?

Tell me, then, who's greater, man or wife?
If I tell you, you'll face a strife.
To know the ocean's tides, their sway,
Count the drops, as the pitcher's say.
You won't escape, not from this play,
Nor the water's spray, nor the colors' array.
I bring the colors, the powder's decree,
With you, I'll play Holi, you'll see!
A maiden so naive, swaying in glee,
How can she play Holi with me?

What's the wind's form, tell me, do?
Like the flower's scent, pure and true.
Why did Radha hide her face, by the well's side?
Only Krishna knows the veil's secrets, inside.
You won't escape, this game you'll face,
How long will you play hide and chase?
A maiden so naive, swaying in glee,
A maiden so naive, swaying in glee,
How can she play Holi with me?
I bring the colors, the powder's decree,
With you, I'll play Holi, you'll see!
You won't escape, no way, not you,
Your veil is drenched, your blouse feels new.
I bring the colors, the powder's decree,
With you, I'll play Holi, you'll see!
A maiden so naive, swaying in glee,
How can she play Holi with me?
